eh?
This wears thin. If I am critical of American foreign policy, it does not mean that I am anti-Christian. If I am critical of Egypt's foreign policy, it does not mean that I am anti-Muslim. So how is it that if I am critical of Israel's foreign policy that I am somehow anti-Semitic? The deliberate blurring of religion and state is a way of fear-deflecting criticism from ignoble policies into silence.

Now look at that! Criticising Israel is now to be classed as "hate", and "hate" is illegal in France and most other Western countries. The next step is to outlaw criticism of Israel and put the "anti-Zionists" in prison, just like they're already putting "Holocaust deniers", "anti-Semites" and other supposed "hate criminals" in prison. This is the "freedom and democracy" that America brought to Europe, with Stalin's benign help. It's even worse than the communist nightmare.
